Winery Description:

Founded in 1987 by visionary Gonzalo Antón in Rioja Alavesa, Bodegas Izadi combines innovation, tradition, and a deep connection to gastronomy. Located in Villabuena de Álava, where Antón’s family cultivated grapes, the winery quickly gained recognition for its fine wines and pioneering techniques. With Gonzalo’s expertise in hospitality, Izadi became a favorite among gastronomic circles, while continuous improvements shaped its distinctive style over time. Under the leadership of Lalo Antón since 2000, Izadi expanded internationally and launched projects like Finca Villacreces (Ribera del Duero), Bodegas Vetus (Toro), and Orben (Rioja) under the Artevino name. Today, Izadi champions sustainability and terroir-driven winemaking, producing exceptional wines from old bush vines and indigenous varieties. Its commitment to quality, respect for nature, and passion for gastronomy define its legacy as a boutique winery dedicated to crafting authentic Rioja expressions.
